Silicon nitride based ceramics (SiAlONs); tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia (3Y‐TZP); alumina and their composites reinforced with different amount of multi‐ walled carbon‐nanotubes (CNTs) have been processed by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). High tempera ...
The influence of the carbon content on the microstructure, phase transformation and hardness of an iron-based cermet is studied. The cermet is constituted by a high-alloyed steel as matrix, and TiCN particles (50 vol.%) as reinforcement. The material is pr ...
Nitrogen-rich Ca-alpha-SiAlON ceramics made with different starting powder compositions have been studied by high-temperature mechanical spectroscopy in parallel with compressive deformation in a spark plasma sintering equipment. The mechanical loss spectr ...
Heavily deformed 18-carat yellow gold samples show a recrystallization peak at 700 K during the first heating. The mechanical loss spectrum of polycrystals shows a relaxation peak at about 780 K, which is absent in single crystals made from the same alloy. ...
Thermally sprayed hardmetal coatings can be used to improve the wear or fatigue resistance of mechanical parts. Depending on the deposition conditions, their microstructure and phase composition are out of equilibrium at different levels due to the extreme ...

Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method was practiced, in the current investigation, to obtain fully dense materials with an excellent dispersion of MWCNTs (Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes) within the matrix. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy microgr ...
Composites containing 3 mol% yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia (3Y-TZP) reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with various amounts of CNTs (3Y-TZP / X wt% CNT, X= 0, 0.5, 1.5, 3 and 5) were processed by spark plasma sintering. Microscopic ...

This work is motivated by an industrial interest in gaining a better understanding of the phase transformations that govern the mechanical properties of 18-carat gold alloys commonly used in jewelry applications and luxury watchmaking. These alloys fall in ...
High temperature mechanical properties of zirconia reinforced with carbon-nanotubes (CNTs) are studied by mechanical spectroscopy. CNTs limit zirconia grain-boundary sliding (GBS) and consequently deformation. Concurrent grain-growth and plastic deformatio ...
According to various studies, Grain Boundary Engineering (GBE) is likely to enhance mechanical properties of polycrystalline materials. The present investigation highlights some relationships between thermomechanical process (TMP) parameters of a commercia ...
